Magic City Mission: Two weeks, two thousand
By Wade Kwon
We’re just about ready to go.
A dozen volunteers will drive to the Gulf Coast for the next Magic City Mission to help rebuild. These are your friends and neighbors working with Hands on Birmingham to let folks in Biloxi and New Orleans know they haven’t been forgotten.
But we still need your help.
We’re going to raise $2,000 in the next two weeks to go to our partner agencies: Hands on Gulf Coast (Biloxi), St. Bernard Project and Camp Hope (both in New Orleans). Your tax-deductible gifts will help pay for our food, shelter and other program costs during our volunteer week Nov. 4-11.
Every additional dollar will go straight to these programs.
Also, we’re loading our trucks, vans and SUVs with needed supplies for the agencies and the residents. You can help by donating tools, Home Depot gift cards, gas cards and more.
You can donate by check or credit card, or drop off supplies today. Here’s how:
- To donate money, see our How to Help page.
- To donate supplies and gift cards, see our Wish List page.
We’ve already raised our first $100 and secured supplies from City Action Partnership, but every donation helps. Donation deadline is Thursday, Nov. 1.
If you have questions, let me know.
